1. waters dark and deep raging with angst just learning how to swim will I reach the other side Or find solace In between? 2. I slept well yesterday chirping birds greet me ask for their feed hunger drives the world I wonder if they think about skies beyond 3. A page fell of the book took with it a day with some memories For how long have I been alive Or life starts today 4. I’ve got evidence no one believes opinions are subjective whose reality is true I don’t understand Objectivity…
Love how you captured them… each one of them a little aphorism

Yo Reena — I am in the half-sleep insomniac bloom of zolpidem, but I like your work. I will return when I am once again razored out to write a ringing comment! ✌🏼❤️

“For how long
have I been alive
Or life starts today”
You capture the ambiguity of time well here. It can/could/does change from moment to moment…

Intriguing title for your fragments of philosophical wonderings, Reena – most especially I was struck by:
“hunger drives the world
I wonder if they think
about skies beyond”
